15For if yee turne away from after him, hee will yet againe leaue them in the wildernesse, and ye shall destroy all this people. 16¶ And they came neere vnto him, and said, Wee will build sheepfoldes here for our cattell, and cities for our litle ones. 17But we ourselues will goe ready armed before the children of Israel, vntill wee haue brought them vnto their place: and our litle ones shall dwell in the fenced cities, because of the inhabitants of the land. 18Wee will not returne vnto our houses, vntill the children of Israel haue inherited euery man his inheritance: 19For wee will not inherite with them on yonder side Iordane, or forward, because our inheritance is fallen to vs on this side Iordane Eastward.
